INTRODUCTION I absolutely loved this class. I came in not knowing a word of Chinese and I will enter next semester having mastered several hundred characters. I have learned so much so quickly from this class. I have also enjoyed having Tseng laoshi as a teacher. She made class very enjoyable, and without her great personality Chinese class would have been very boring. At the beginning, I was very nervous about whether or not I would like Chinese and whether it would be hard, but now I am planning to take Chinese 102 next semester (which I had no intention of doing when I first signed up for Chinese 101), and I may go even further than that with the language! My Most Excellent Work 1. Lesson 2- Family 2. Lesson 5- Visiting Friends 3. Lesson 7- Studying Chinese I have chosen the three passages in which I have best presented the things I have learned over the course of the semester as my most excellent work. The first is my dialogue from Lesson 2. I chose this one because I feel like I made the fewest mistakes in my grammar and character writing and I made my best grade on it, although the actual text is not very exciting. My next choice is my narrative from Lesson 5- Visiting Friends, which I was proud of because I found that I was writing about something that I would normally write about in English. It is great when I find I can write in a non-English language about real experiences I have had in my life. The third passage I chose is my narrative from Lesson 7. I chose this one for the same reasons as my second choice; mainly because I really feel that I have learned a lot from a class when I can write about things that I actually do (like study Chinese vocabulary), which I learned to talk about in this lesson. All three represent how much I have learned in Tseng laoshi’s class, especially as a student who entered not knowing any Chinese.Self-Introduction: Image File NJ Star File Audio File
